"As many of you are aware, the Administrative Decision (AD) process was first introduced in January 2011, but was limited, due to statutory certification requirements, to expansions/land use changes regarding either existing certified major traffic generators (MTGs) or those predating certification. Legislation passed in July 2011 has allowed the State Traffic Commission (STC) Administrative Office to expand its AD process to encompass all new MTGs/expansions/land use changes that do not trigger mitigation or safety measures on a state highway. Accordingly, many new MTGs/expansions/land use changes that have access to or abut or adjoin a state highway prior to July 2011 would have automatically triggered STC certification by virtue of their location, may now qualify for an AD. More information regarding the expanded AD process is available on the STC's Web page via the following link: http://www.ct.gov/dot/cwp/view.asp?a=2314&q=449866.
